15 Signs To Help You Recognize A Toxic Relationship From The Very Beginning

5You start neglecting friends for the sake of your partner

If you have entered into a relationship, it doesn’t mean you should stop seeing your friends. It’s natural to be so taken up with a new partner that you don’t see your friends often after that or you want to share everything about them to your friends. But you need to understand that your friends too like spending moments with you and aren’t exactly raring to hear constantly rave about the new person in your life.

Your friends may also form different opinions about your partner, so introduce your partner to them as soon as possible so that they too may tell you what they think. Perhaps they will see certain negative signs that you don’t see to prevent you entering a toxic relationship. If your partner does not express eagerness to meet your friends’ or relations, it means they aren’t serious about the relationship.

6Your hobbies take a back seat

New partners can take up all your time and thoughts to the point of not wanting to indulge I your favorite hobbies anymore. There is no need to make your new partner the center of your world. It would not be right to depend on them for your entire happiness, well being and even your mood. To avoid this, simply keep up your favorite activities and pursuits to provide an alternate distraction.

7You turn a blind eye to warning signals

Whenever doubts or suspicions crop up in your mind, it isn’t always unfound and it may be good to trust yourself sometimes and pay attention to them. If there is some pattern of behavior that is casting suspicion or doubts on your partner nature, then confront it immediately. Don’t make a false assumption that people change on their own. It should be said at least once to someone who loves and values you so that the person is given a chance to improve themselves.
